2.7 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product in some operations.
Check with your local authority for advice.
• Do not allow children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
• Keep bystanders, children and pets 15 m away from the area of operation. Stop the
product if anyone enters the area.
• While operating the product, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do
not operate the machine when barefoot or when wearing open sandals. Avoid wearing
clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties; they can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be drawn into the air inlet.
• Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
• Wear hearing protection at all times while operating the product. The product is
extremely noisy and permanent hearing injury may result if instructions to limit
exposure, reduce noise and wear hearing protection are not strictly followed.
• Wear full eye protection at all times while operating the product. The manufacturer
strongly suggests a full face mask or fully enclosed goggles. Normal spectacles or
sunglasses are not adequate protection. Objects can be thrown at high speed by the
powerful air jet at any time and may rebound from hard surfaces toward the operator.
• Before each use, ensure that all controls and safety devices function correctly. Do not use
the tool if the off switch does not stop the product.
• Before each use, always inspect the housing for damage. Ensure that guards and
handles are in place and properly secured.
• Never operate the product with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices,
such as debris collector, in place.
• Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string, which can be blown a considerable distance by high velocity air, or
become entangled in the fan.
• Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce the risk of injury associated with
the inhalation of dust.
